New Kroger store coming to West Knoxville

A piece of undeveloped West Knoxville real estate will soon be the home of a new Kroger.

The Metropolitan Planning Commission rezoned the land on the northwest corner of Cedar Bluff and Kingston Pike, to make way for the new store, and other businesses.

There's no word on when the new grocery store will open, or what other businesses may locate there.

The location of the new store is not far from two existing Kroger stores. There is one just down Kingston Pike, in the "Market Place Shopping Center, and one at the other end of Cedar Bluff, at the intersection with Middlebrook Pike.
